It started with being hated by the girl in the band

At this moment, Shiina Riki, who inevitably felt a little complicated, raised his head slightly.

Although I don't know why Hailing said such things, it is a fact that it hurt everyone... After all, no matter what, it was me who invited Hailing here.

Thinking of this, Shiina Riki turned his gaze to Hachiman Kailing, perhaps hoping to see a somewhat apologetic expression from Hachiman Kailing.

However, Hachiman Kailing still had a calm expression on her face, sipping the grape-flavored juice of "Good Boy" in her hand. When she met Shiina Riki's gaze, she tilted her head slightly.

...Because, when acting, you have to act it out completely. If you reveal the truth now, wouldn’t all your efforts just now be in vain?

Hachiman Kailing silently endured the increasingly uncomfortable mood in her heart and forced herself to pretend that she didn't care.

Chapter 151...And Nakagawa Chita is almost a monster.

Listening to Chihaya Aion's angrily narration of what had just happened, Nakagawa Nobuyuki frowned slightly, and the doubts in his heart grew rapidly.

Although according to what Aine and Nagasaki said, Hachiman Kailing did say something quite excessive, even the usually good-tempered Nakagawa Shinko frowned when she heard it, so it was normal for everyone to be a little unhappy now...

But why?

Nakagawa Nobuyuki fell into a state of deep thought.

What is certain is that Hachiman Kailing is definitely not the kind of person who speaks without thinking, there is no doubt about that...

If that’s the case, why would Miss Hai Ling say something so obviously hurtful?

Just because I wanted to speak up and say something to everyone? This is obviously not a reasonable excuse, right?

Thinking of this, Nakagawa Nobuyuki gently shifted his gaze and cast a somewhat strange look towards Shiina Riki.

Since you want to ask this kind of question, it is of course best to ask someone you know first.

(…So, Shiina, don’t you think it’s weird for Kailing to say something like that?)

Nakagawa Nobuyuki blinked slightly and asked his question to Shiina Riki, who had a gloomy look on his face.

(…It’s really strange, maybe it’s a provocation? But…)

Shiina Ritsuki frowned slightly, and the expressionless Hachiman Kailing came to his mind again. At this moment, he could only act with an uncertain look as if he wanted to say something but stopped, and answer Nakagawa Nobuyuki with his eyes.

And Hachiman Kailing obviously noticed the gaze from Nakagawa Nobuyuki. At this moment, she could only raise her eyebrows slightly and pretend to be puzzled.

Not good, not good...

Hachiman Kailing said secretly in her heart.

...It was a mistake. I forgot about this guy Zhonghe.

Although Zhonghe is a very nice person, his intuition is quite sensitive... If this guy really notices something... wouldn't all my efforts be wasted?

When people get nervous, they will subconsciously want to drink water. At this moment, Hachiman Kailing, who was inexplicably nervous, also subconsciously sucked from the straw...

However, the juice had already been drunk up by now.

"..."

No, I have to leave quickly...

At this moment, Hachiman Hailing suddenly felt a little regretful... Wouldn't it be just fine if she had just finished saying those words and then left? Why did she have to stay and see the result?

All I can say is that Miss Hailing’s mentality is just like the mentality of a criminal returning to the crime scene.

Thinking of this, her originally beautiful and calm face inevitably became a little stiff. Miss Hailing stood up, looking as if nothing had happened.

"...I'm going outside to get some fresh air."

Hachiman Kailing walked towards the door as if nothing had happened and spoke softly.

The other people didn't look particularly surprised. Rather, they felt that it was unlikely that they could stay here in such an obviously weird situation.

"Hailing..."

Shiina Riki frowned slightly and immediately stopped Hachiman Kailing who was about to push the door and leave.

To be honest, Shiina Riki didn't really believe that Hachiman Kailing could say such a thing...

Maybe it's a provocation?

If this is a provocation... I must pull this guy aside and make him apologize to everyone.

Although he was thinking so, Shiina Riki was still gently stopped by Nakagawa Nobuyuki who seemed to have discovered some blind spot.

"...Shiina, I'll go see what's going on."

Nakagawa Nobuyuki patted Shiina Riki's shoulder and warned him in a deep voice. The seriousness in his words made people want to believe it involuntarily.

He gently patted Xiaodeng's head, and Xiaodeng reluctantly let go of his arm. Then Nakagawa Xin didn't say anything more, but just walked out the door quickly.

The reason why Nakagawa Nobuyuki stopped Shiina Riki was very simple... If Hachiman Kailing said these words intentionally, then Shiina Riki would naturally be among the intended audience.

Even if Shiina Riki really catches up today, will Hachiman Kailing tell the truth to Shiina Riki?

Needless to say, to be honest, this is definitely impossible, right? Otherwise, if Miss Hailing really had any plans, wouldn't it all be in vain?

...I can only say that Miss Hailing's fear of Nakagawa Nobuyuki just now was not without reason. This guy's intuition was so accurate at times like this that it was terrifying.

Therefore, the cautious Miss Hailing was walking quickly towards a place where Nakagawa Nobuyuki would definitely not find her - the women's restroom.

At this moment, Hachiman Kailing just prayed in her heart that if anyone was to catch up, it would be best if it was Shiina Riki who caught up... If it was Nakagawa Nobuyuki, then please don't catch up so quickly -

"Yo."

At this moment, Nakagawa Nobuyuki appeared in front of Hachiman Kailing, leaning against the wall, smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and greeted Hachiman Kailing.

"Oh, Xin-san, what are you doing here?"

It was a hot day, but at this moment, Miss Hailing broke out in a cold sweat on her back. She gritted her teeth and pretended to be expressionless.

... Zhonghe, are you so fast? How come you are so fast?

"Well, the atmosphere in there is too weird, let's go out and get some fresh air."

Nakagawa Nobuyuki spread his hands as if he didn't care, but his eyes were still fixed with interest on Hachiman Kailing who was becoming increasingly uneasy in front of him.

As expected, Hachiman Kailing must have had ulterior motives in what she said just now... The fact that she ran here with a guilty conscience is the best example.

...Hehe, if he had left before I arrived, Miss Hailing might have really escaped.

"Oh...what a coincidence."

Feeling Nakagawa Nobuyuki's increasingly playful gaze, Yawata Kailing could only drift her gaze and look around with some guilt.

Now...what should I do?

Should he turn around and flee to the hall immediately? But Zhonghe was obviously much faster... So should he stay here?

So... after all, I can only...

With a determined heart, Hachiman Kailing took a deep breath and walked towards Nakagawa Nobuyuki.

...I just went to the bathroom. Zhonghe wouldn't care about this matter, right?

"Student Hailing, I can't really let you go."

Nakagawa Nobuyuki took a step forward and stood in front of Hachiman Kailing with a smile.

Only at this moment did Hachiman Kailing feel for the first time that Nakagawa Nobuyuki's body was particularly tall compared to her own, and she even had to raise her head to look at him.

"…Is Xin-san planning to start collecting toilet taxes?"

Hachiman Kailing looked up at Nakagawa Nobuyuki and made a complaint with a calm expression.

"…So, tell me, Hailing-san?"

Let’s get straight to the point.

Nakagawa Nobuyuki has no interest in playing house with the current Miss Hailing. He is just simply curious about what Hachiman Hailing is thinking.

"I don't understand——"

Before Hachiman Kailing could finish her words pretending to be stupid, Nakagawa Shin sighed and said with some regret: "Hailing, don't you know that in "Detective ○ Nan", all the criminals pretend to be stupid and say this first sentence?"

At this moment, Hachiman Hailing could only keep her mouth shut in embarrassment.

If you think about it this way, it seems to be true...

PS.

I almost forgot to update it when watching the game.

Chapter 152: Zhonghe, I like it.

In the dim corridor, Hachiman Kailing, with a slightly red face, whispered her thoughts while being pinned against the wall.

...There's nothing we can do. After all, Zhonghe has caught up with us, which proves that Zhonghe must have become suspicious.

If he continues to be stubborn today, if Zhonghe goes back and discusses his doubts with others...

After all, Li Xi and the others are not stupid. If Zhonghe analyzed them like this... there is no need for me to continue acting.

"…So, that's it."

Hachiman Kailing spread out her hands somewhat exhaustedly, not intending to hide anything, and was quite straightforward.

"... Hailing, you..."

Nakagawa Nobuyuki's expression became a little subtle at this moment, and he didn't know what to say.

Although the form is not very good, the starting point is indeed quite legitimate... and it seems that the effect is quite good.

"But, Hailing-san, is it really okay to be misunderstood like this?"

Nakagawa Nobuyuki frowned slightly and asked softly with some concern.

Being misunderstood by friends... It's definitely not a good feeling, especially when you are the villain. You will probably be gossiped about behind your back...

...What a good friend.

Nakagawa Nobuyuki sighed softly in his heart.

"…If Nobuyuki can help Riki compose music, then that's fine."

Seeing that Nakagawa Nobuyuki seemed very worried about her, Hachiman Kailing felt relieved and let go of the heavy stone in her heart.

It seems that Zhonghe is unexpectedly easy to be influenced by... That's good. If that's the case, then it would be a good thing if Zhonghe catches up with me.

"…Don't worry, since Hailing-san has said so."

Of course, Nakagawa Nobuyuki would not continue to deny anything. He just smiled slightly, looked gently into Yawata Kailing's light green eyes, nodded solemnly, and stretched out his fist.

"Then the covenant is established."

Hachiman Kailing slowly curled up the corners of her mouth, and also stretched out her small, white fist, which gently touched Nakagawa Nobuyuki's fist.

……

Click.

"Okay, I'm back."

As the door of the practice room closed gently, Nakagawa Nobuyuki, with a look of accomplishment on his face, stretched his body and greeted everyone who were practicing freely there.

“…Nobu-san!”

Xiaodeng, who had been pacing back and forth with some trepidation, was genuinely happy when she saw Nakagawa Nobuyuki pushing open the door and coming back. She pinched her wrinkled clothes on her chest and called out softly.

"…So, how is it?"

Apart from Takamatsu Deng who looked very happy, Shiina Riki who was a little absent-minded immediately came back to his senses, and without even having time to put down his drumsticks, he looked up and asked.

"...Shiina, you guessed right, it's just a provocation."

Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who had already thought of an excuse, simply spread his hands and solemnly shared with everyone a conversation that did not exist at all.

The only true sentence is probably the last one.

"Classmate Hailing asked me not to tell you and left by herself... Remember not to tell her that I leaked it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Nakagawa Nobuyuki even cleared his throat seriously, pretending to be quite a decent person. He gently grabbed the already somewhat cold water cup and gulped down two gulps.
